Multi-purpose electrical window and methods thereof
First Claim
1. A multi-purpose electric window comprising a transparent sheet with surface lens structures and a reflective layer laminated on an electric light-switching device, the light-switching device comprising two layers of transparent electrodes and a layer of electric field alignable particles and a power supply, wherein the lens structures are located on one side or, optionally, on both sides of the transparent sheet, wherein the transparent sheet is laminated on the reflective layer or directly on the electric light-switching device where the reflective layer comprises at least one of:
- transparent resins with high refraction index nano-particles, metal-coated thin film, and a thin metal reflector with surface etched patterns.

Abstract
These teachings disclose a multi-purpose electric window that comprises a printed transparent sheet and a reflective layer laminated onto an electric light-switching device and a power source. The electric light-switching device is made of electrically actuated polymer dispersed liquid crystal or suspended polarized particles laminated between two transparent electrodes. There are surface lens structures at one side or both sides of the transparent sheet. Images are printed unto the surface lens structures. The lens structures are selected from prism, half spherical, half cylindrical, pyramidal, Fresnel structure or a combination of the above. The transparent sheet is laminated on the side with reflective layer or the other side of the electric light-switching device without reflective layer. Light emitting diodes can be placed at the sides or under the transparent sheet.
